Yeah. American wheat, and so everything made with it, I agree, it's crap.
But American cheese, and it varies, is a blend of Colby jack and cheddar, it is real cheese, but you have to search for it and it's THE best cheese for burgers, IMHO.
If I were to make a wagyu burger, I'd season it like a steak: salt & pepper only, then onion tomato lettuce on a proper bun.

@nursedanakay I have 14.3.3
It has no problem negotiating speed bumps or speed humps.

It does get a bit wonky with irregular asphalt surfaces, like those that are peppered with tar lines and asphalt patches.

@reggieoverton @elonmusk @aelluswamy @Tesla_AI Erring on the side of caution

[Frank Nostro @fnostro]

Well, there had to be SOME hard work.
If that were true, then why aren't there a billion billionaires?
Why aren't you?
The people that are billionaires literally had a vision and decided to take the risk.
They won.

And hundreds of millions of people around the world have jobs because of it.
And mobile phones,
and Computers,
and Internet,
Oh, and the ability to bitch about the bad evil rich people

You want to turn a rich person into a poor person?
Stop buying their products and services.

@Sassafrass_84 Laugh.

I'm not sure what constitutes ingestion of pork, but the fact that you can SMELL it, that you are breathing in the aerosolized fats of cooking pork...I don't know...

I guess that doesn't count.

Taking things that somebody worked for and giving it to people waiting for handouts is not a good system.

Capitalism is not the problem, People are.

In particular, the Career Politicians that have been bought by Big Business and Billionaires who together create the rules that enrich themselves and select the front runners for every election.

Choose ANY Economic or Government system you want, the problems you see right now, you will see again.

@zapta30 @3lectricBrawl I have other things there, air pump, tools, assorted outlet adapters, etc

[Frank Nostro @fnostro]

@DawdyTim @3lectricBrawl I keep a bottle of Windex there

[Frank Nostro @fnostro]

Capitalism is a tool.
It's People you are talking about and how they utilize the tool.
People, and it doesn't take many, are greedy and insatiable when it comes to money and power.

Everything that is failing right now is due to all the insane laws, taxes, incentives etc.. put in place by politicians in the pockets of big business.

Government takes the money you earn before you get it, and again with the things you buy.
Businesses must show constant growth which drives costs up and take more money out of our pockets.

No one is satisfied with having enough.
It's always "whoever dies with the most wins."

@kiara7829 There is nothing inherently wrong with either until people impose their own morality.

In many cultures this is a norm, it's regulated and taxed.
The shame I think comes from assumptions.

[Frank Nostro @fnostro]

But...but...what if I'm actually picking nits?

New words come into existence all the time.
I remember when "doh!" was added to the dictionary
Also, context matters.

No one is using these terms today in their original historical racist sense.

But they have come to have meaning outside their history. They have grown beyond their etymology.

Words exist forever.
They represent the historical record of language.

What makes them racist is people like oh...maybe a preachy, dare I say uppity, white girl "educating" the world with her overbearing wokeness.

@rikarends Can you imagine driving at autobahn speeds?

[Frank Nostro @fnostro]

Growing up in southern NJ you learn about circles and round-abouts really early on.

1. You NEVER stop in a circle.
2. Once IN the circle you always have right-of-way
3. Drivers entering the circle must yield to drivers IN the circle.

The driver with the dashcam is in the wrong and should have went around again.

But with multi-lane circles this is a balancing act.
Being in the left lane signals to waiting drivers that they may have an opportunity to enter, hence the Land Rover.

But in actuality, knowing the exit distance, the dashcam driver never have entered the circle from the left lane let alone driven completely into the left lane.
The dashcam driver should have entered from the right lane, permitted the Land Rover to enter and then exit.

@Rainmaker1973 Never trust a video showing "actual" anything that uses cut scenes

[Frank Nostro @fnostro]

@Rainmaker1973 Steak???
Don't you ever use the word to describe whatever the hell that frankenmeat actually is.

[Frank Nostro @fnostro]

@LamarMK Based on what?

[Frank Nostro @fnostro]

@lowenpick @edgecase411 HW4 front camera is 2896x1876 (~5.4MP) @ 24 fps
So it surely "saw" it.
FSD is good enough to react to road debris, speed bumps/humps. hell it used to react to blowing leaves.

Stationary floating hazards seem to be a new one for it though.

[Frank Nostro @fnostro]

@edgecase411 Wow, talk about an edge case...

Except for toll booths I have never in my life seen barriers used like that. And on a highway no less (65mph).
